Pork tenderloin with pepper and onions
Sliced pork surrounded by peppers and onions
We don't know about you, but pork tenderloin is one of our favorite meals to prepare. It's delicious and tender and it is something that can be made in a short amount of time. We mean, compared to a lot of roasts that take quite a few hours for the roast to become tender. They come two to a sealed package, but they are not really large. If you have a few people to cook for, you can use one and freeze the other for later.
Not only is the pork very flavorful by itself, but by adding some sautéed peppers and onions, you make your roast even more flavorful! We used two different kinds of bell peppers to add some great color and taste as a side to the pork.
Making the pork tenderloin:
To start the pork, we mixed a flavorful mix of herbs and olive oil
Ingredients for pork tenderloin
For this part you can use a blender, but we used a small magic bullet. We put the herbs into the container and added the olive oil and then we pureed them all together. Lots of flavor!

It is time to sear the roast.
Searing pork tenderloin
Place the roast into the oven and cook at 375ºF for about 40 minutes or until the internal temperature internal temperature reaches between 145ºF to 160ºF.
Take the meat out of the pan and add a can of beef broth to the pan. Cook until it boils while stirring. This is very flavorful to spoon over the meat.

To add more flavor to the pork, make a delicious pan of onions and peppers. We just add a little oil and a pat or two of butter to a pan and add the onions and peppers. Season with salt and pepper.
